How fun is it when you can take one or two layer cakes and make a quilt in one afternoon?

Truth be told …. you just can’t go wrong with precuts. You also can’t go wrong with this free layer cake quilt pattern from The Fat Quarter Shop called Layer Cake Checkmate.

With two layer cakes of Hometown Girl by Pat Sloan, a little extra yardage for borders, backing & binding, one of my quilty kitty helpers, and a FQS video tutorial …. I had this quilt top finished in no time.

You can download your free pattern over at the Jolly Jabber or from the link in their You Tube video tutorial.

Now all you need to do is figure out which layer cakes you will use! Happy Quilting friends and don’t forget to stop by and check out some Layer Cake Checkmate inspiration from the FQS blogging crew.
